Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport

Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport

10/10 Excellent
"Super easy access from Dublin Airport by shuttle bus ( but do make sure to find the pick-up point leaving Terminal 1 and going straight, behind the church at nr. 16- not at terminal 2! ) At the hotel: I found all staff to be cheerful and helpful. Ditto the security, with card- only access to lifts and stairwells. The bath was handicapped access, and the design was well thought out: steel grab bars all around and a seat that could be positioned closer or farther away. The bed was fitted with crisp white linens and the room temperature was very comfortable. Some noise from other rooms occasionally, but it abated well before late night and did not disturb sleep. I asked for a charging cable: they have a fridge stocked not only with drinks, but phone chargers, as well. A swipe of the card, and my battery was saved. Morning checkout was super easy and the bus ride fast back to the airport again. I didn’t try out the eateries ( one an Italian restaurant) but next time I hope to, this time I only got myself a cup of herbal tea from the lobby barista."
